The red squirrels (Sciurus vulgaris) inhabiting the pine forest trail of Yeongok Beach (연곡해변솔밭길) in Gangneung, Gangwon Province, are part of the eastern range of this species. In South Korea, these squirrels are typically classified as the subspecies S. v. coreae (also known as S. v. coreanus), which is adapted to the country’s temperate coniferous and mixed forests. In this area, they live among coastal pine trees, feeding primarily on pine seeds, buds, and fungi.
The forested area near the East Sea provides them with a stable habitat rich in vegetation, ideal for their diurnal activity and territorial behavior. They are often seen in the early mornings, moving swiftly through the trees—especially in autumn, when they gather food for the winter.

Edited book cover, Whale by Cheon Myeong-Kwan.
It follows the lives of three mythical characters: an extremely ambitious woman who has been chasing an indescribable thrill ever since she first saw a whale crest in the ocean; her mute daughter, who communicates with elephants; and a one-eyed woman who controls honeybees with a whistle.

HL8082, a Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner, on approach to runway 24R at Toronto Pearson International Airport in Mississauga, Ontario. It was arriving as KAL73 (Korean Air Lines Co., Ltd.) from Seoul, Korea.
From an overnight trip to Yangdong Maeul (Village) near Gyeongju, South Korea. Yangdong is a village that is preserved for historical and tourism purposes. The lady in the photo is making silk thread in the traditional Korean fashion. Although not obvious from the photo, the blue container on the right side is full of silk worms being heated to force them to produce the silk. As they mature and no longer produce the silk the lady plucks them one at a time with chopsticks and places them in the wicker basket in the center. She then replaces them with other, fresher silk worms contained in the green bucket. And all of this while turning the wooden wheel with her left hand.

Korean food is my new favorite. I was on a Japanese kick for a while, then Indian, but Korean food is where it's at.
For something different (for me posting on flickr), here is a photo taken at the Korean War Memorial in DC. This is a simple pic taken when the background trees have no leaves.
Set in a wooded area behind the hills near Camp Casey, actually near the base of a feature known locally as Mt. Soyasan. Some friends of mine and I hiked up its rather steeply angled slope, which is rather bare on the side facing Camp Casey, but we were delighted to find beautiful mature vegetation on the opposite side. At the base, in some clearings, lay a small retreat. There was a cave from which flowed a small stream; a Buddhist hermit had once resided there. It was wonderfully peaceful. This is the interior of the Jajaeam Temple. It is a Buddhist shrine established by St. Wonhyo in the 14th year (645 C.E.) of Queen Seondeok's rule during the Silla Era. (internet sources) I believe that the temple has since been enlarged and the interior much changed. (scanned from a 35mm slide)
Excerpt from www.nfm.go.kr/user/bbs/english/17/469/bbsDataView/23209.d...:
Most Jangseung (Village Guardian Posts) and Sotdae (Sacred Poles) stand at the village entrance. The posts are believed to drive off evil spirits, illness or catastrophe that could enter the village, and the duck perched up on a such a pole symbolizes abundance and fertility. The posts protect the village with glaring eyes and the ever-watchful duck on the sacred pole cries with a thunderous roar.
I bought the noodles from the Korean store when I visited my step-mom, Hyo, a couple months ago. The barbeque sauce is super spicey.

People killed to uphold the regime
People killed in the Rwandan Genocide: apprx. 800.000 – 1 million
People killed in Cambodia by the Pol Pot regime: apprx. 1 million
People killed by the regime in North Korea: apprx. 8 million (counting executions, starvation, and the Korean war).
After getting tired of eating the same old philipino food, Japanese sushi, and viet pho, i wanted to try a Korean dish.
All I gotta say is, 13 dollars well spent.
